Summary: Aamir reveals the release date of his upcoming movie “Sitaare Zameen Par” which he announced last year. Guarantees the movie will leave the audience in splits.

Recently Aamir Khan attended the screening for his production venture Laapata Ladies, with the movie’s director and his former wife Kiran Rao, on Tuesday at IIM Bengaluru. During this screening he answered many questions his fans were curious about regarding his upcoming film “Sitaare Zameen Par.” Aamir Khan was last seen in the movie “Laal Singh Chaddha” directed by Advait Chandan.

While talking to the media during the Laapata Ladies screening, the actor shared an exciting update on his upcoming movie “Sitaare Zameen Par”. He said, “I started shooting for my next film last week. We are trying to release it on Christmas this year. Let’s hope it comes by Christmas.”

Early on during the promotions of Laapata Ladies, Aamir Khan had spoken about Sitaare Zameen Par, “I have started shooting for my upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par from February 1. It is the next level of Taare Zameen Par, it is like part 2. It is not the same story and the characters are also not the same.”

He also said, “It has the same theme but the difference is, unlike Taare Zameen Par, which left you in tears, Sitaare Zameen Par will leave you in laughter. Prasanna is directing the movie and it is an entertaining film. We are looking at the same topic but with a different perspective.” Aamir took a one-year gap after Laal Singh Chaddha, which failed to capture the audience.

Even at the screening of Salaam Venky in 2022, where Aamir Khan played a cameo he has said, “I am not doing anything. For the last few years, I have been working continuously, now I want to spend some time with my family. Paani foundation ka bhi kaam chal raha hai, aur bhi thoda kaam chal raha hai, so after a year I will come back to acting.”
